Case description

Ischemic colitis occurs as the result of a compromise in intestinal blood flow that can produce a spectrum of injury from transient self-limited ischemia to fulminant ischemia or transmural infarction. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, and the clinician should consider the diagnosis in patients with acute abdominal pain and bloody stools. Although most patients improve within several days with supportive care, others will require laparotomy with bowel resection.
